Remaining within 90 min of a div at all times between Lajes and Bermuda will mean that the route has to take a slightly more northerly track than great circle. Also, presumably the plan has to be single hose compatible for its entirety?
Even so, unless there was some unusual constraint,
6 brackets seems rather a lot for Typhoons in 2 tank fit. Unless, as
vascodegama infers, it actually means 3 x 2 for a 4-receiver 2 hose plan?
Which is what 'another' planning system suggests, assuming 1000 kg min at abort aerodromes Lajes, St Anthony and Halifax, even with 2800 kg arrival fuel at Bermuda and 85% stat met.
Or, if there was a mission planning constraint to keep the Typhoons above 5000 kg in tanks at all times before the final bracket, perhaps 4 x 2.
